Cant understand why they would then say such a thing?
Angel Eyes they say that because that is what 99% of Jehovah's Witnesses believe. Here's an example of how this works. My friend will not speak to his daughter. He says she has broken his heart by leaving Jehovah. She was DF'd because she wanted out of an extremely unhappy marriage to someone she should have never married. Her husband is a great guy and she is a lovely charming woman, but they were never meant to be. She had an affair and divorced him and was DF'd. Her dad tells me she has taken a stand against Jehovah, it is her choice that we don't have anything to do with her. He can't see that his abandonment of her is completely irrational and most unkind. She needs him now more than ever.
